Deploying the Okta extension to Edge and Chrome via Intune

Here’s a quick guide on how to push the Okta extension via Intune. This can be adapted for any extension which you wish to push.

First up, collate the extension app ID’s in each browser. Search for the Okta extension and get the details from the URL.

For example, in the Chrome web store this would be glnpjglilkicbckjpbgcfkogebgllemb

In the Edge Add-ons, this would be ncoafaeidnkeafiehpkfoeklhajkpgij.

Now that we have the details we can create our Settings Catalog profile to deploy.

Edge Configuration

Search the following and set:

Allow specific extensions to be installed	Enabled
Extension IDs to exempt from the block list (Device)	ncoafaeidnkeafiehpkfoeklhajkpgij
Control which extensions are installed silently	Enabled
Extension/App IDs and update URLs to be silently installed (Device)	ncoafaeidnkeafiehpkfoeklhajkpgij

If you want to control the blocking of other extensions then you can also add

Control which extensions cannot be installed	Enabled
Extension IDs the user should be prevented from installing (or * for all) (Device)	*

Google Chrome Configuration

When setting the app ID for Chrome you need to add ;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx to the end of the app ID.

Search the following and set:

Configure extension installation allow list	Enabled
Extension IDs to exempt from the blocklist (Device)	glnpjglilkicbckjpbgcfkogebgllemb;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx
Configure the list of force-installed apps and extensions	Enabled
Extension/App IDs and update URLs to be silently installed (Device)	glnpjglilkicbckjpbgcfkogebgllemb;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx

If you want to control the blocking of other extensions then you can also add

Configure extension installation blocklist	Enabled
Extension IDs the user should be prevented from installing (or * for all) (Device)	*

Deploy the profile out to your devices which need the extensions applied.

As mentioned these settings can be used with any extension. Just get the extension app ID and you’re good to go.
